MMU05 – Organic Matcha

Our brand new Organic Matcha prototype!

Material Matcha Uji (MMU) produces insanely good Matcha Green Tea.

We collaborate with traditional tea-masters, use ancient blending techniques and the highest quality tea leaves from Uji, in order to create the most exclusive blends of matcha ever offered to the world.

Handmade, craft matcha green tea from Uji, Kyoto.

Tea leaves from the first harvest only (we select the top 2 or 3 leaves of each stem).

Traditional straw-shading to boost taste naturally.

Expert blending to reach maximum flavor profiles.

We conceived 3 matcha blends with very distinct flavor profiles. They are each made of several green tea varieties, and blended according to our (secret) ratios.

MMU01: Sharp blend of Okumidori, Zairai, Samidori and Yabukita.

MMU02: Smooth blend of Samidori and Okumidori.

MMU03: Full bodied blend of Samidori and Gokou.

Take a look at our story, our impact on Uji tea-farming, and how we became the most funded drink on Kickstarter!

Through our vessels, objects and ceramics we reinvent the ritual of tea ceremony, paying homage to Japanese minimalism: leave traditions, start anew.

Who Are We?

Material Matcha Uji 宇治 is the story of two friends: Morgan & Etienne, who went on a quest for purity. Living in Japan for years, they completely let go and embarked on a journey to find, salvage and re-create the rarest tea making techniques.
